The
rpc.lockd
utility provides monitored and unmonitored file and record locking services
in an NFS environment.
To monitor the status of hosts requesting locks,
the locking daemon typically operates in conjunction
with
rpc.statd(8).
Options and operands available for
rpc.lockd:
-d
|
|
The
-d
option causes debugging information to be written to syslog, recording
all RPC transactions to the daemon.
These messages are logged with level
LOG_DEBUG
and facility
LOG_DAEMON.
Specifying a
debug_level
of 1 results
in the generation of one log line per protocol operation.
Higher
debug levels can be specified, causing display of operation arguments
and internal operations of the daemon.
|
-F
|
|
Run
rpc.lockd
in the foreground, rather than going into daemon mode.
This is useful if some other process uses
fork(2)
and
exec(3)
to run
rpc.lockd,
and wants to monitor when and how it exits.
|
-g
|
|
The
-g
option allow to specify the
grace period,
in seconds.
During the grace period
rpc.lockd
only accepts requests from hosts which are reinitialising locks which
existed before the server restart.
Default is 30 seconds.
|
-h bindip
|
|
Specify specific IP addresses to bind to.
This option may be specified multiple times.
If no
-h
option is specified,
rpc.lockd
will bind to
INADDR_ANY.
Note that when specifying IP addresses with
-h,
rpc.lockd
will automatically add
127.0.0.1
and if IPv6 is enabled,
::1
to the list.
|
-p
|
|
The
-p
option allow to force the daemon to bind to the specified
port,
for both AF_INET and AF_INET6 address families.
|
Error conditions are logged to syslog, irrespective of the debug level,
using log level
LOG_ERR
and facility
LOG_DAEMON.
The
rpc.lockd
utility must NOT be invoked by
inetd(8)
because the protocol assumes that the daemon will run from system start time.
Instead, it should be configured in
rc.conf(5)
to run at system startup.
